leg-spinners
Cricket's spin bowlers
Leg-spinners are cricket bowlers who specialize in leg spin—a technique where the ball is spun with the wrist to turn from the leg side to the off side when it bounces.
The term also refers to the deliveries themselves: He bowled three consecutive leg-spinners.
Leg spin is considered among the most difficult bowling arts to master, producing unpredictable movement that deceives batsmen.
